LINC 102 : PHONETICS (4 CREDITS) Objectives The aim of this course is to equip the students with the theories and practical knowledge of the propagation and perception of speech sounds, both segmental and suprasegmental, so as to enable them to pronounce, transcribe and describe the sounds of any language. This will help them in learning and teaching a non- native sound or foreign language.
This course has theory and practical work. The theory paper will have 65

marks and the practical will have 10 marks. The theory examination will be conducted with other theory papers and test of the practical work will be conducted at the time of the board meeting where the oral and transcribing ability of the students will be evaluated by the members attending the board meeting designing the questions. UnitI : Different Phonetic Approaches (12 hours) Introduction to phonetic study A detailed study of articulatory process different phases of speech Articulatory, Auditory and Acoustic approaches ear training and performance.

ACOUSTIC PHONETICS (4 CREDITS) Objectives The aim of the course is to impart knowledge of Acoustic Phonetics to the students on the following topics. Speech sounds, like sounds in general are transmitted through the air as small, rapid variations in air pressure that spread in longitudinal waves from the speakers mouth and can be heard,

recorded, visualized and measured. Differences between individual speech sounds are directly reflected as differences in either one or several or all of the parameters -duration, pitch, loudness and quality of the belonging speech waves.
Acoustic phonetics deals with the study and description of the acoustical

properties of individual speech sounds, prosody and voice quality. It forms not only the immediate link between articulatory phonetics and speech perception, but is also important for applications in the fields of signal processing and speech technology. UnitI (12 hours) Introduction: to Acoustic Phonetics - Benefits of acoustic phonetics for Linguistic field works - Basic concepts of sound -sound waves-time and amplitudeair pressure- propagation of sound -transverse wave - longitudinal wave, sine waves and complex waves - aperiodic waves -resonances - Four types of speech waves: Silence, Plosion, Random and Periodic wave Loudness Pitch -- Recognizing major types of speech sounds: vowels-voiced and voiceless plosives-voiced and voiceless fricatives-nasals-glottal fricatives-creaky-voiced vowels and other Sonorants - Determining segmental boundaries.
